I'm surprised I was able to trade at all this week since a very close family member passed away on the weekend. I've been so busy dealing w/ the related admin that my overwhelming grief was suspended for a while and only periodically showed itself when I had a moment to reflect...I'm so, so sad :(

-276.9 on 39 contracts this week. Didn't really go crzy w/ my trading or anything, but still struggling w/ incr size and it didn't help that this week it seemed every trade slid against me (Been distracted a bit w/ some health issues in the family so perhaps my entries weren't as ideal as they should have been.).

I've added so much to my game that address specific issues (esp wrt mental aspects) that I trade w/ a very different approach than I did before. I know I can do it w/ small size but whenever I incr size, I L. I'm optimistic I can add a bit more to my trading so I can break this pattern soon. Looking forward to next week.

About Me

This is a simple blog to track my trading results. I've dabbled in the markets over the years but only really took trading seriously in about 2011. I have a background in commerce, law, and technology but I trade bec it's a passion I've developed and it's something I think I can figure out. I like that results are 100% determined by me. I liked stats, math and probabilities in school (really liked the logic in physics problems) but specifically didn't major in those areas in university so I'd be "well rounded" bec I knew I'd naturally come back to those areas I'm passionate about some day; trading now for me is that 'day'.

I trade primarily derivatives on the indexes and use various mathematical and statistical calculations to determine my exit points (and entry points). I'm starting with very small size and then plan to increase sizing as results occur.
